"Not like someone from the Sea Kingdom?"
Elder Wuji frowned, "Then is his strength at the King Realm?"
"His strength is unfathomable, at least a King Realm expert!"
The City Lord said solemnly, "Moreover, he is arrogant. If he is not defeated, he will definitely pay the price!"
"No need, you cannot afford to offend him!"
Elder Wuji waved his hand, "Accompany me on a trip!"
"Elder Wuji, could it be Lord Lu from the Dragon Kingdom?"
An old man spoke, "What is his purpose in coming to the Sea Kingdom!"
"I don't know who it is, but it's probably him!"
Elder Wuji nodded, "The two elders are still in seclusion. With my strength alone, I am no match for him. This person cannot be offended! You all come with me!"
The elders exchanged glances, showing considerable resistance. They were well aware that Lu Fan's strength was immense, and if a fight were to break out, they would only become cannon fodder.
They recalled that on the Outer Domain battlefield, Lu Fan had ambushed and killed over a dozen War King experts. This scene had been captured by many and had caused a huge uproar.
Even many surrounding nations had changed their attitudes towards the Dragon Kingdom. The reason for this was that the Dragon Kingdom had a true dragon that could guard its national destiny and would surely grow in the future.
Not long after, Elder Wuji and the others arrived at the City Lord's mansion. Lu Fan was reclining in a grand chair, appearing quite at ease. Upon seeing the elders of the Sea Kingdom, he did not bother to stand up.
"Lord Lu graces us with his presence. The Sea Kingdom has failed to welcome you from afar!"
Elder Wuji approached, a smile on his face.
"It seems you're living quite a comfortable life!"
Lu Fan rocked his chair, "Did that poison not take effect?"
"With Lord Lu continuously providing the antidote, it naturally wouldn't," Elder Wuji said with a fawning smile. "Lord Lu has come in person, what are your instructions!"
"No particular instructions, I just want to sign an alliance with the Sea Kingdom!" Lu Fan stated directly, "What do you think?"
"An alliance?"
Elder Wuji frowned, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by me alone. Moreover, the Sea Kingdom had previously allied with the Azure Sky Kingdom. If we were to ally with the Dragon Kingdom again, I'm afraid..."
"What, what are you worried about?"
Lu Fan said directly, "Don't you forget, your antidotes are all in my hands!"
"Lord Lu, you might not know, but some things cannot be decided by me alone!"
Elder Wuji gave a wry smile, "I implore Lord Lu to reconsider! If it were any other matter, I would certainly do my best to handle it!"
"Since that is the case, I will not make things difficult for you!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "But if the Sea Kingdom targets the Dragon Kingdom on the Outer Domain battlefield in the future, I will slaughter the Sea Kingdom entirely!"
The elders of the Sea Kingdom trembled. This was their territory, and Lu Fan's utter disregard for decorum made them lose face and feel great displeasure.
However, Lu Fan's strength was too great for them to provoke, so they could only suppress their emotions in secret.
"Lord Lu, rest assured, in the future on the Outer Domain battlefield, the Sea Kingdom will never be an enemy of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Elder Wuji said solemnly, "This alliance with the Azure Sky Kingdom has caused the Sea Kingdom great losses. In the future, we will not take any action on the Outer Domain battlefield!"
"That would be for the best!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and then walked out of the City Lord's mansion, his expression growing colder. As long as the Sea Kingdom did not cause trouble, Lu Fan would be relieved. He did not care much about the alliance.
Even if the Sea Kingdom wanted to form an alliance, many experts from the Dragon Kingdom might not be satisfied.
After all, in the previous war, the Sea Kingdom had been an adversary of the Dragon Kingdom and had killed many Dragon Kingdom experts. This debt of blood could not be easily forgotten.
After Lu Fan left, the elders finally breathed a sigh of relief. While Lu Fan was present, they felt immense pressure. Now that Lu Fan had left, they could act without restraint.
"I never imagined that the Dragon Kingdom could produce such a prodigy!"
An old man exclaimed, "If the Sea Kingdom had such an opportunity, why would it not prosper!"
"All elders, please remember, do not participate in the war between nations in the future!"
Elder Wuji reminded them, "The lessons learned from the last time are bloody. We must not repeat them!"
The elders nodded slightly, but they did not agree with Elder Wuji. They did not believe that by not participating in the war between nations, they could preserve their strength.
If that time truly came, perhaps no nation could escape unscathed.
Meanwhile, somewhere on the Outer Domain battlefield, Bai Hua Xue and others stood, waiting for Lu Fan. Beside them was a pile of burning firewood.
It was already winter, and even though they were martial arts experts, they could feel the biting cold.
"If the Lord doesn't come soon, we'll head to the Sea Kingdom in an hour!" Han Yun Hai said.
"Why don't we go explore the path now!"
Gu Wen spoke, "My eyelids have been twitching. I have a bad feeling about this!"
"Don't overthink it. Master's strength is formidable, he'll be fine!" Han Qiu Shui reminded him.
As they were talking, more than ten figures appeared around them, looking like ghosts.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Bai Hua Xue suddenly stood up. He was the strongest among them and naturally reacted the fastest.
Everyone looked at the black-clothed figures with surprise. They were waiting here, yet they were ambushed.
"Could these people be assassins from the Sea Kingdom?"
Gu Wen frowned, "They are truly audacious!"
"We are under the orders of the elders of the Sea Kingdom to annihilate all of you!"
The leading black-clothed figure sneered, "None of you will escape today!"
Han Yun Hai and the others' expressions changed. The leading black-clothed figure was not ordinary, likely a King Realm expert. If that were the case, they were in great trouble today.
They never imagined that Lu Fan would encounter danger before they themselves were ambushed.
"Kill them, leave no one alive!"
The leading black-clothed figure gave the order, and the black-clothed figures attacked, exuding supreme aura. They were all War Spirit experts, powerful wherever they were.
Facing over ten figures, Gu Wen and the others were not panicked. They had participated in the Outer Domain defense war, and their skills and reactions far surpassed those of martial artists of the same level.
Among those present, only Jiang Mei Li was slightly weaker, but she showed no fear. Su Dan Novel Network
"Since you are from the Sea Kingdom, you should know that Lord Lu is currently in the Sea Kingdom!"
Bai Hua Xue said sternly, "With such actions, he will not let you go!"
"Whether he can return safely is still a question!" The black-clothed leader smiled, "I'm afraid you don't need to worry about that!"
Bai Hua Xue's face turned ashen. He was now at the peak of the War Spirit realm, and the black-clothed leader before him had likely reached the Half-step King Realm. If a fight were to break out, she did not have absolute confidence.
However, as the strongest here, she could only brace herself and fight.
Not long after, Gu Wen and the others began to retreat. The opposing side had too many numbers for them to handle. Even Bai Hua Xue had a sword mark on her arm. Facing such immense pressure, her expression gradually turned grim.
"It seems we are truly going to die here today!"
Han Qiu Shui said with a wry smile, "I only hope Master is alright!"
